THE ADVENTURES OF ASTERIX, THE WORLD'S FIRST SUPERHERO. Gaul was divided into three parts. No, four parts - for one small village of indomitable Gauls still held out against the Roman invaders. When Getafix is kidnapped by the Romans, Asterix penetrates their camp to rescue him with hair-raising results...
Albert Uderzo has been illustrating Asterix for 37 years, and has written the most recent titles since Goscinny's death. He enjoys racing sports cars and owns a large number of Ferraris. He was the recipient of the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest honour, for services to the arts. Asterix is a best seller in 70 languages
Rene Goscinny was born in Paris in 1926, and spent most of his childhood in Argentina, before eventually moving to Paris in 1951. He died in 1977.
